Urobilinogen in Urine Urobilinogen in Urine. Urobilinogen is a colorless substance that is formed as a result of a decrease in bilirubin levels. All of us are aware of the fact that the liver is a really important organ in the body. Among other vital functions, the liver is also responsible for the regulation of blood sugar levels.

Urobilinogen it can get reduced to stercobilin, which gives faeces its characteristec colour. increased urobilinogen maybe found in hemolytic anaemia. obstructive jaundice causes low levels of urobilinogen which causes incresed amounts of soluble bilirubin in urine giving it a high color and clay coloured stools.

Bilirubin Bilirubin (formerly referred to as haematoidin) is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism, caused by the body's clearance of aged red blood cells which contain hemoglobin.Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases.yperbilirubinemia results from a higher-than-normal level of bilirubin in the blood. For adults, this is any level above 170 μmol/l and for newborns 340 µmol/l and critical hyperbilirubinemia 425 µmol/l.

Urobilinogen Sorry to hear about your problem. The urobilinogen value in your urine is slightly high and this can be due to some hemolytic process (in which red blood cells are being injured). This can be evaluated by doing a peripheral smear analysis. You should also get liver function tests done...

Bilirubin in Urine The bilirubin is excreted as a component of bile, and gives rise to the color of urine and feces through further processing in the small intestine to a component called urobilinogen. The urobilinogen is then exported back to the liver and then circulates the blood to be finally excreted in the urine.

Antibody 1. antibody that binds to erythrocytes or bacteria but does not produce agglutination; in blood banking, the nonagglutinating antibody is detectable in serum by using the antiglobulin (Coombs') test. For example, IgG anti-Rh antibodies do not agglutinate erythrocytes in physiologic saline whereas IgM antibodies do.n immunoglobulin produced by plasma cells, which has a specific amino acid sequence and specifically binds to the antigen(s) (e.g., foreign proteins, microbes or toxins) that induced its synthesis; antibodies may also bind to closely related antigens.

Human Physiology/Print Version Urine (from Latin Urina, ae, f .) is a liquid by-product of the body secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination (or micturition) and excreted through the urethra.Cellular metabolism generates numerous by-products, many rich in nitrogen, that require clearance from the bloodstream.n the urine of a healthy individual the color comes primarily from the presence of urobilin. Urobilin in turn is a final waste product resulting from the breakdown of heme from hemoglobin during the destruction of aging blood cells.

Bilirubin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Bilirubin (formerly referred to as haematoidin) is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism, caused by the body's clearance of aged red blood cells which contain hemoglobin. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases.owever, in disorders involving hemolytic anemia, an increased number of red blood cells are broken down, causing an increase in the amount of unconjugated bilirubin in the blood. Because the unconjugated bilirubin is not water-soluble, one will not see an increase in bilirubin in the urine.

- Urine hemoglobin: The presence of free hemoglobin in the urine, an abnormal finding, that may make the urine look dark. Hemoglobin in the urine is termed hemoglobinuria.Hemoglobin is the protein in the red blood cells which carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. The iron contained in hemoglobin gives red blood cells their characteristic color.ormally, there is no hemoglobin in the urine. Hemoglobinuria is a sign of a number of conditions including: 1  acute nephritis (acute glomerulonephritis), 2  burns, 3  kidney cancer, 4  malaria, 5  paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (dark urine in the morning that lightens up during the day), 6  the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS),

- When abnormal values of urobilinogen is found during a urine test, further investigation is required to ascertain your true health status. Using a urine test is a quick and inexpensive way to check for urobilinogen in your urine, and is one of our test kit products that can be done in the privacy of your home. negative result at any time does not preclude the absence of urobilinogen. In addition, the test cannot be used to detect porphobilinogen. High concentrations of p-aminosalicylic acid and sulphonamides may obscure test patch color. Nitrite, isonicotinic acid (INH) and indole have little or no effect on the test.

- Normal urine does not contain any red blood cells, except females’ urine during menstruation. Occult blood in someone’s urine can indicate kidney, bladder, prostate, or vaginal infections. UROBILINOGEN Urobilinogen is a breakdown product of the hemoglobin in red blood cells.It is not found in normal urine! Urobilinogen in a urine specimen may indicate the rapid destruction of red blood cells.ed urine may indicate the presence of red blood cells or a diet high in red beets. Orange urine may be the result of bile in the urine and usually suggests liver disease. It may also indicate dehydration, or excess beta carotene from some vitamin B combinations and/or carrot juice.
